I have some advice for landing your dream job. I finally got an internship at my dream ad agency and wanted to give you some tips that I learned.
You need a portfolio. Show what you have created. It can be school projects, spec campaigns, and any other work that shows that you know what you're doing. Put your portfolio online and always include the link with your application.
Network. Get out there and meet as many people as you can. Get in LinkedIn and contact people. Have informational interviews and get comfortable with the marketing and advertising world so when you have your interview, you will be a natural.
Use twitter. Follow accounts of companies you would want to work for. Stay up to date on the industry, build contacts.
Perfect your resume. There are no formulas on how it should look. Make it look good though and realize that recruiters only spend around eight seconds looking through your resume. Cut out any unnecessary info.
Be persistent. The third time isn't always the charm.
